Overview
- Austin Nasso posted the Instagram video from Bengaluru, dressing like President Donald Trump and repeating a pitch to sell H‑1B visas for $100,000.
- He shared the clip with the caption “Buy one get one free,” and it has drawn about 2.9 million views along with widespread online reactions.
- Exchanges in the skit include a passerby saying he prefers Europe and Nasso replying “So nasty,” with scenes also shot from an autorickshaw.
- The satire references a recent presidential proclamation imposing a one-time $100,000 charge on companies sponsoring new H‑1B visas.
- Officials clarified the charge applies only to new applications and not to renewals or existing H‑1B holders, a point closely watched in India, whose nationals hold an estimated 71% of H‑1B visas.
